Good point. Also consider this posted from a hospital site:

Q: Do patients in persistent or permanent vegetative states experience pain or suffering?

A: No. The parts of the brain necessary for consciousness, that feel pain or suffering, are not working. Moving their arms or legs in response to unpleasant feelings or sounds are only reflexes.

I repeat my question. Why does this supposedly vegetative woman need pain medication?

So you are like the Schindlers, who want to deny her sedation?
